Build An Anime Character Update: Schedule, Start Times & Countdown
Build An Anime Character hands players a roster of anime-styled fighters to assemble, upgrade, and send into battle, and its weekly Update is where that roster keeps growing. Every refresh brings new characters, new mechanics, and fresh ways to play, so the regulars who keep the game busy — around about 3,600 in-game as of November 11 — treat Saturday afternoon as the moment to log back in.
The Update is not a one-off. Developer Tomark Interactive runs it on a weekly rhythm, dropping a new batch of content every Saturday. Build An Anime Character has pulled in about 7,800,000 visits and about 140,000 favorites, and a steady slice of that audience comes back each week for whatever the next Update adds.

How often the Update lands
A new Update arrives weekly — weekly — and the next one is set for Saturday, November 14 at 1 PM ET. Rather than staggering it across the day, Build An Anime Character runs the Update on a single fixed slot, so there is one time to remember: Saturdays at 1:00 PM ET. For players outside the US Eastern zone, that converts to a spread across the major world time zones:
- 10:00 AM for US Pacific
- 6:00 PM in the UK
- 7:00 PM across Central Europe
- 11:30 PM in India
- 3:00 AM Sunday in Japan
- 5:00 AM Sunday in eastern Australia
The Update has run 2 times so far, and it has kept to the same Saturday slot each week.
What’s in the Update
Each Update tends to center on a handful of additions:
- A new Mythical-tier character — the rarest class in the game — added to the obtainable roster.
- Extra characters further down the rarity ladder to chase and level up.
- New modes that change how matches and runs play out.
The exact lineup shifts from one week to the next, but the shape holds steady: something rare to aim for, more fighters to collect, and a fresh way to play them.
Tips for catching it
- The 1:00 PM ET slot falls at midday for the Americas and in the evening for Europe, so those regions have the easiest time catching the Update live.
- If you are in Asia or Australia, where it lands overnight, set a reminder and jump in whenever you wake up — the new content stays in the game, you just miss the launch rush.
- Missing a week costs nothing in the long run; another Update follows the next Saturday.
- The next date and the usual time are on the card above.
How it fits Build An Anime Character’s rhythm
The weekly Update is the backbone of the game’s schedule. It builds on the earlier Huge Update, a larger one-off content push, but where that was a single event, the standard Update is the dependable every-Saturday cadence players plan their week around.
